About Kay Koehler

We fell in love with Savannah on our first visit in 1995. Over the years, visit after visit, we knew that we wanted to call this charming city our second home. So, nearly a decade later, we bought our lovely, historic rowhouse right in the heart of the Landmark Historic District on beautiful Jones Street. Having traveled around the world and stayed at many bed and breakfasts, we knew exactly the experience we wanted our guests to have - for The Blue Belle to be a true 'home away from home' with luxurious and thoughtful touches. We hope that it is! Although we spend most of our time at our jobs in West Palm Beach, FL, we are lucky enough to get up to our charming second city three or four times a year. Someday we will retire there and live out our days sitting in the courtyard, a nice glass of wine in hand, and enjoy watching the moss on the large oaks blow in the breeze.

Kay Koehler purchased this house in 2005

Why Kay Koehler chose Historic District - South

Once we made the decision to make Savannah our second home, there was never a question of where we would buy - the Landmark Historic District. Although we saw some truly beautiful Victorians at far better prices, we both wanted to live in a home where safety wasn't a concern, where our neighbors were quiet and thougthful, and a lovely square was just a block or so away. When we first began renovating, we looked out our second floor bedroom windows and saw a wedding being held at the base of the sweeping stairs of the house directly across from ours; we knew then we had picked the perfect place!

What makes this house unique

We love to walk. It's no surprise that one of the things that attracted us to Savannah is its walkability. Within minutes we can be enjoying amazing chocolate chip pancakes at Clary's, browsing through the many shops on Broughton, or testing taffy down by the river. And, if we feel like a little boogie boarding, we're off to Tybee and in the water in 20 minutes. Most importantly, after a fun-filled day, we can come home to relax in a private courtyard and enjoy quiet charm of Savannah.

Two large, comfortable bedrooms with queen size beds. One single rollaway to place wherever you'd like, and one queen size pull-out sleeper sofa in the living room. Plenty of linens and pillows for all beds, quilts, and everything you need for your comfort!

Great!

Sweet memories. Great house. Our youngest son proposed to his girlfriend in Forsyth Park with family all around. Our weekend together in the Blue Belle was perfect. Beautiful area, and almost everything was within walking distance. We had everything we needed. I would love to come back in the Fall when it's a little cooler. 😊

Owner's Response: Teresa,
We feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful memory! Thank you for staying at our vacation home; we would love to have you have back anytime.
Best,
Kay

Owner's Response: Margaret,
We are disheartened to hear you did not enjoy your stay; in 12 years of renting our vacation home, we have received all 4 or 5 star reviews.
That said, it’s true that vacation rentals are not for everyone. Many people like the feel of being in a historic home. If you envision large yards and four sides of windows, then a row house built in 1875 isn’t going to meet your expectations. We want our guests to have a relaxing time and great experience, and wish we could’ve spoken before you rented to ensure this was a fit for you.
For simple things, such as if you were unable to work the Smart TV, we would’ve been happy to help you anytime, 24/7. And although we’ve never had complaints about the cleanliness of our home, if we had known, we would’ve sent the cleaning team back over to ensure everything was to your liking. Likewise, we are confused about the A/C; it is only one year old and had its annual maintenance just weeks before your stay. All of this is to say that had we known you were having issues, we would’ve promptly addressed them.
Nonetheless, we are happy that you enjoyed our beautiful city and are sorry that your experience was anything short of wonderful.
Best,
Kay

Great location , very nice house

The Blue Belle was perfect for our family of seven. We could walk from the house to most of the sites we wanted to see. The whole area is very historic and beautiful. Only about half an hour to get to Tybee island.

Return to the Blue Belle

This was our second visit to Savannah, and our second stay at the Blue Belle. The home is right on the most beautiful cobble-stoned street, surrounded by historic homes in many styles. Clary's restaurant is a few blocks away for breakfast or lunch, and Kroger's is just a short drive on Gwinnett. We usually eat in when staying in a home, and did so this time, so I would say an update of the pots is in order (many of them were badly scratched) and the ice maker didn't have ice when we got there and never worked (although we read the manual which was left in the kitchen). Other than that, the house was as we remember - it has not been stripped of what makes it a true Savannah house built in the 1800's: you will have older stairs (narrow) and beautiful moulding around the ceilings with the rooms all painted in soft colors holding decorative but original fireplaces and mantles. A real joy was sitting by the window in the front bedroom, reading (or trying to) while just looking out the window at the live oaks draped over the cobble-stoned street, the variety of houses with their iron-work decorative touches, and interesting porches, the mangnolia trees in bloom, and the people walking around the neighborhood. To really enjoy the house, let yourself go back in time a bit and relish all the small touches to the house that make it so charming, from the 3 fireplaces and mantles, the white, decorative mouldings around the ceiling in the livingroom and dining area, the delicate wallpaper patterns, the painted chest in the master bedroom, even the door knocker and sliding covered lock on the front door. The Blue Belle is a true southern belle who will reward you if you respect her, and you will enjoy returning each day after a long leisurely walk or a road trip out of the city. Or park in the garage off the lane in the back (a real perk when parking is often at a premium in the neighborhood) and enter through the back courtyard.

Savannah is a real pleasure for the senses in every way and we enjoyed our stay once again at the Blue Belle on Jones Street. Kay, the owner of the Blue Belle, is quick to reply to any questions and concerns you may have while you are booking. We were provided with what we needed to have another lovely week in Savannah.

Owner's Response: We were pleased to have you back at our Blue Belle and glad that you had another wonderful stay.
It's great when guests appreciate the uniqueness of a period home, while enjoying the modern conveniences. It's clear that you did! Thank you for your kind words about our Savannah gem.
Looking forward to having you again for your next Savannah vacation.
Best,
Kay
PS. We'll be there over the weekend for a "refresh" on the little things - pots & pans, etc. You can enjoy them when you are back next!

Amazing place in a perfect location!

We celebrated a friend's bachelorette party in Savannah this weekend and the Blue Belle was perfect! Pictures do not do it justice. There is so much more space than it appears in the picture. With 7 girls we didn't have a single sleeping problem and there is lots of seating for hanging out and chatting. The stairs may not be ideal for older guests or small children. Check-in and out could not have been easier. We especially loved the beautiful location! We were able to walk literally everywhere (very active group) and enjoy the wonderful scenery and weather. Would highly recommend!
